Who defines what you're "supposed" to do anyways? Where do we get these expectations? Of course from our parents, family, and friends. But what you need to realize is that at the end of the day, the only person you have to answer to is yourself. This may get a little complicated, so try to stay with me. In our reality, everything is an expression of a level of consciousness. Violence is an expression of a low level of consciousness, while something like meditation can be representative of a higher level of consciousness. This is a very basic explanation of the concept. Our decisions also vibrate on the levels of consciousness. Decisions made from a place of guilt, anger, hatred, shame, or fear are of a low level of consciousness. Decisions made from a place of love, passion, and power are of a higher level of consciousness. To make the decision based in higher consciousness sometimes takes a lot of courage on our part because those around us are predominantly in a lower level of consciousness. Understand that your loved ones are simply projecting their deepest fears onto your situation, and are most likely (subconsciously) trying to pull you down. Realize which of your paths is on the higher level of consciousness, and understand that you MUST follow this path. You must find the courage within yourself to make this decision. Sarah,

I really think that's a decision you're going to have to make on your own. It truly depends on your reasons. If you believe you've got a good reason to withdraw, and you don't think you'll regret it, then I say go for it. Do your best right now to anticipate how your future will look in a few years, and see if dropping out of school will hinder your possibilities in any way. If you're still confident you can create your dream future reality without school, then go for it man! Good luck! Hey John,

Do you suggest completing the rest of the semester? Also did your parents let you live in their house without getting a minimum wage job? Did they let you start this blog in their home full time? John Hi, I am thinking of dropping out of college as well. Do you suggest completing the rest of the semester?

Also did your parents let you live in their house without getting a minimum wage job? Did they let you start this blog in their home full time?

At the basic level everything is energy, so the explanation seems valid. I don't believe intuition can lead you astray if you can truly understand it. Sometimes we may wrongly classify a feeling we are having, and may act on it, only to find out later that it was the wrong decision. However, this can all fit under the belief that the universe is working for us behind the scenes, and it's taking into account much more than we can understand. Therefore, our apparent "mistake" was actually a critical one in the grand scheme of things. It's all about faith! @ David - Internal clarity is the most important thing, wouldn't you agree? I believe the hard times are only temporary. Being broke is only temporary, being poor is forever. As long as we trust our intuition, we can have faith in knowing that all of the "bad" things in our life are there for a reason. Once again, a matter of faith.

I have experienced it. But like you say elsewhere you may end up poor for awhile. You will still have struggles. But inside things will be clear. And that will give you the strength to move forward thru the difficult times. This is true. I have experienced it. But like you say elsewhere you may end up poor for awhile.

There are so many things about the universe we don't know about. This is one of those concepts thats hard to prove. However, I do believe we have human intuition and even that is a mind boggling subject if you dig deep. All the new age people (also some ancient wisdom) firmly believe in this universal intuition as well. They usually try to tie in Quantum Physics to disarm the logical mind. (see movies like What the Bleep do you know and The Secret) There are a lot of practical and powerful reasons for following your bliss despite not knowing the exact reason why it is so powerful. I guess that's what matters most in an age where we have more questions than answers. It's a great attitude to have, but I also take it with a grain of salt as well. I believe our intuition can lead us astray if not careful. Anyway, great post and I'm glad you are bringing it up. I hope more people are just even aware of this concept. Oh yeah... I think the biggest reason this is so powerful is that our society is soo repressed and controlled. We are continually brainwashed to do certain things like put up with crappy public schooling, get a corporate job, lose our rights to the government and so on. A lot of this benefits a very few at the top and is not fun for many smart people below. I guess this is why self help is such a big industry. There are some serious issues going on. Anyway, I've rambled on too many subjects. :) This is something I’ve been struggling about…
